If for one reason or another you decide to revisit Half-Life 2 in the near future, you may want to install a new community-made mod which features a brand-new Community Commentary Mode, an extensive list of bug fixes and some notable improvements to the aging Source engine. Half-Life developer Valve has given the mod its blessing by allowing it to be released via Steam.

Now they’ve released a new trailer for the upcoming hunters (you know, the ones part of the Hunters Season Pass) and the promised Behemoth, with a breakdown of a match in progress and explanation of the various new abilities on offer. I’m pretty stoked, but as most of the comments on the video demonstrate there’s no love lost with their “potential” PC customers. Hit the jump for the video.

Developer Respawn’s founder and CEO, Vince Zampella, has for the first time made it clear that his company is working on a sequel to last year’s online shooter, Titanfall. Zampella was speaking to IGN prior to attending the BAFTA Game Awards, which took place last night.

“I guess EA announced a sequel, so I could play coy and pretend I don’t know anything about it, or… yeah,” Zampella said. “So we’re working on a sequel. No official name yet, but we’re working on that. That’s the main focus but we’re starting up a second team and doing some smaller stuff too. Small, exploratory, taking it slow! It’ll be multiplatform.”

This is the first time that Zampella and Respawn have openly discussed their development of a sequel. Electronic Arts is once again on board to publish the title, which will hit more than just Microsoft’s systems.

A Halo player who goes by the name of “Lawrencce 1″ on YouTube has uploaded a sniper rifle kill that might just be the best fluke-shot kill in video gaming history. There have been hundreds of impressive kills over the years, parituclaly in games like the Battlefield series, but this is without a doubt one of if not the best fluke-shots in existence.

Lawrencce uses an unscoped sniper rifle to take a quick shot at an opponent. The rifle’s bullet ricochets off not one, not two, but three surfaces before miraculously hitting a target. “I got the kill and initially thought that it was nothing more than a decent no-scope,” Lawrencce writes in the YouTube description, “but when I later reviewed the footage in theatre mode, it turns out that the bullet ricocheted THREE times before landing in the head of the opposition player.”

Check it out after the jump, and while we’re ogling amazing kills, leave some of your favourite shots in the comments section below. If they’re shots that you’ve pulled off, well, then, we’ll give you extra high-fives.

If you enjoyed Wolfenstein: The New Order and have been wondering when you’d see some new content, wonder no more. Bethesda has officially announced Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a standalone prequel to the 2014 game.
